Hi, guys, it's Red here, back from the grand aether that is my life to drop myself back into the pit of disease.
So, I'm just wondering, because I've been away for the best part of a year, what's the current meta-game? What's the mod that's being used the most? What's this retooled shiznit like?
*sighs* it's like being a noob all over again...
-
IRL DSL 2.2 is the faved meta, Retooled is still in beta mode stock has died and so has DSL S sadly IF is kinda going strong
Welcome back :3
-
I'm not surprised stock has died, tbh, it was dying when I left. Good to see that IF is doing well, because that was easily my favourite mod back then.
How's RA3 going, though? :laughing

Very well so well people have died just playing the game its that good :P

Stock isn't dead, people are still making bots and tourneys for it, but it's dying. The stock metagame is stagnant as far as I can see, which is probably why people are abandoning it for the modded versions. DSL-S is pretty much dead though.
Retooled's still in development, as Jamied said, but it's already reasonably popular. Not too bad, either.
We don't really talk about RA3 here.

hey red, welcome back (for like the 50th time xd)
but yeah, i will continue to play stock whether or not people consider it "dead"
it won't really ever die tho, kinda like this website
-
Yeah, I'm kinda surprised this place ain't dead. Then again, memes never die, do they? So if this cesspool of memery isn't immortal, then I may as well end it now.
-
Stock isn't going to suddenly die. It's on lifesupport till someone makes something out of it, but it's alive.
DSL-S died a sudden death when DSL 2.2 came out and was obviously built for IRL.
RWRA2 is non-existant at this point.
DSL IRL is thriving.
Retooled is in development, and looks promising.
Ironforge is inactive, but could be resurrected. It would be a shame to see it die after all the work that went into it.
-
Perhaps it's because I've actually played dead games before, but all this talk of meta games dying is mildly amusing. Do you know how many games developed by shovelware houses can have a decade of fan support?
-
Hey, TRB's back. Howdy!
-
DSL-S never died, since DSL-S refers to the realistic rule style of building pioneered in DSL 2.1. It still lives on in Ironforge and Retooled. It would be nice if people could host some Stock/Ironforge/Retooled tournies instead of DSL 2.2 IRL ones for a change, so people have a reason to play those mods.
-
RA3 died harder than a chicken in close proximity to a weasel. We like to pretend it never existed.
The other metas, however, didn't die. Stock is a bit less active and IRL has overshadowed DSL-S for DSL building, but...
-
Stock has been "dying" for like 5 years
-
Honestly stock has been "dying" forever, so I agree with Sage. But the meta has stagnated IIRC. Also RWRA2 was never really supposed to be a game to compete in so much as an incredible standalone mod. It's been on my to do list to download and change over all the bots to normal controls so I can play with them. Unless someone has already done that hopefully? (hint hint) Also, was there another update recently? I remember reading something about that.
-
I've been on semi-hiatus, but yeah. Not much for stock and a LOT of DSL atm.
As for RA3:

Posted in the new off-topic thread. I think it sums it up pretty well. I only wish I had screenshotted my steam conversation with badger when the game first came out. Welcome back, man!
